Chapter 375: The Crown Prince Party

Luo En immediately activated "Extraordinary Identification," and under the special vision, the "young girl" before him immediately revealed her true form.

Countless tentacles, as thin as hair, were precisely woven into the shape of a human.

Each tentacle was performing complex coordinated movements at the microscopic level.

Inside flowed chaotic energy compressed to the extreme, like a liquid rainbow circulating within this fake body.

Maintaining this perfect human form was consuming Nari's immense source power.

He could even feel the immense pain this continuous blood-letting-like consumption brought to the other party.

And in the corner of the palace hall, a special crystal container caught Luo En's attention.

It was a huge transparent container, inside which was sealed a tentacle with a somewhat familiar shape.

The surface of this tentacle was covered with dark red pollution spots; it was exactly that "Touch of Pollution" that had once harmed Luo En.

The surface of the container was engraved with dense repentant text, using the ancient Abyss language.

Each character was glowing slightly, telling of Nari's deep self-reproach for that accident.

The content of the text was roughly:

"Stupid Nari harmed her own child and should be punished eternally..."

"The evil tentacle is not worthy of touching pure existence again and should be sealed forever..."

"Only the child's forgiveness can wash away the sin in mother's heart..."

Seeing these words, complex emotions surged in Luo En's heart.

Nari's self-reproach for that accident was far deeper than he had imagined.

"Mother." He said softly, while slowly walking toward a shadowy corner of the palace.

Under the vision of "Extraordinary Identification," he could clearly see several huge tentacles there.

They were hiding cautiously, as if afraid of scaring him.

"You don't need to force yourself like this."

Luo En's voice was gentle but firm, while he reached out and gently stroked the surface of one of the tentacles.

The tentacle skin felt warm, with a texture like the finest silk, densely covered with eyes shimmering like jewels.

These eyes trembled under his touch, filled with trepidation and longing.

"I have never felt fear or disgust because of your appearance."

He continued, his voice carrying a certain reassuring firmness:

"Your true form is equally beautiful, only this beauty transcends ordinary understanding.

Why bear such a painful burden just to cater to my so-called 'human prejudice'?"

The beautiful fake body began to tremble violently.

The countless tentacles woven into a human shape began to loosen, and a look of pain appeared on the beautiful face.

Nari's voice came from the fake body, carrying a sobbing tone:

"But... but mother is worried that you will be afraid, will find it disgusting... will leave because mother is ugly..."

Her voice trembled more and more:

"Mother knows she is a monster... an Abyss alien that is terrifying. If I don't disguise myself as the way you humans like, would you still be willing to stay by mother's side?"

"Why would I? Would I leave you because of that?"

Luo En gently interrupted her self-denial, while increasing the stroking motion of his hand:

"If I were such a shallow person, judging the value of an existence solely by appearance, how could I be worthy of your such deep love?"

He paused, his voice becoming more serious:

"Mother, do you think I am the kind of foolish person who would be deceived by appearances?

Do you think I wouldn't see that every detail of this palace is poured with your heart's blood?

Do you think I wouldn't feel the immense effort you made to make me comfortable?"

Luo En's words nourished Nari's parched heart like sweet dew.

The outline of the fake body began to blur, and those precisely woven tentacles began to unravel their complex structure.

"True beauty has never been about conforming to a fixed standard."

He continued, while more actively contacting the tentacles hidden in the shadows:

"But about that sincere heart, about that pure emotion of being willing to give everything for the person you cherish.

In my eyes, no beauty of appearance can compare to your heart."

"Child..." Nari's voice was almost melting: "You... do you really think so?"

"Of course." Luo En's answer was without hesitation:

"And, I want to tell you a secret—I actually prefer to see the true form you have shown before.

That ancient, powerful presence that transcends ordinary understanding is the truly awe-inspiring beauty."

Under Luo En's insistence, Nari finally gave up the effort to maintain the fake body.

The beautiful young girl image slowly dissipated like morning mist, turning into countless light spots that re-integrated into the palace's architectural structure.

Replacing it was that massive and ancient true existence.

Countless tentacles extended from every corner of the palace, each with a different form and function.

Some tentacles were as thin as ribbons, their surfaces covered with beautiful patterns like scales;

Some tentacles were as thick as ancient trees, growing glowing organs and sensory endings;

And some tentacles were translucent, with energy flows as gorgeous as the Milky Way flowing inside.

Hundreds of eyes of varying sizes slowly turned toward Luo En, each pair having different colors and charm.

But at this moment, all the eyes were filled with the same emotion—trepidation, anticipation, and cautious hope.

"You... do you really not hate mother's true appearance?"

The voice carried a slight tremor, as nervous as a young girl facing her beloved for the first time:

"Ugly, terrifying, a monster that makes people afraid..."

"No." Luo En firmly interrupted her self-deprecation:

"This is a powerful, ancient, beautiful existence, the 'Eye of the Abyss' that can make all creatures in the Abyss submit."

He did not retreat, but instead walked closer, opening his arms to gently stroke those tentacles:

"I am proud to be your child, and happy to receive your love."

Nari's emotions surged like a tsunami.

She carefully surrounded Luo En with the softest, most harmless tentacles.

The force was as light as a feather brushing against a breeze, fearing to cause him any harm.

"My child... my true child..."

Her voice carried uncontrollable joy and satisfaction:

"Mother has waited so long, waited for thousands of years... just to hear these words..."

Countless eyes secreted crystal-clear liquid simultaneously; those were crystals of pure happiness.

"Now..." Luo En said with a chuckle:

"Can you show me the surprise you prepared for me? I think you must have put a lot of effort into it."

"Of course! Of course!"

Nari's voice immediately became excited, all the eyes shimmering with excited light:

"Mother has prepared many, many good things for you! Guaranteed to satisfy you!"

Her tentacles began to sway rhythmically, and the palace structure underwent wonderful changes accordingly.

The original hall began to split and reorganize, rearranging itself like living building blocks.

The walls slid to both sides, revealing the huge space hidden behind.

"First, mother has built the most perfect laboratory for you!"

Nari introduced proudly, several tentacles pointing to different areas:

"Everything I could think of is here!"

What appeared before Luo En's eyes was a research facility of staggering scale.

The entire experimental area was divided into more than a dozen different functional blocks, each carefully designed for specific research directions.
